I have had increasingly painful stiffness on the right side of my neck for three days. I ve referred to this as a crick in my neck in the past, but this is more painful. I ve tried Aleve, heating pad, ice pack, and hot showers. Last year I had knee replacement and had some hydrocodone and oxycodone pills left. The hydrocodone does give some relief. My husband has gently massaged the area which did give slight relief. Should I seek medical attention or is this something that should work itself out?
